Birthday wishes

Thank you all for the Birthday wishes, and special thanks to Bruce for the cake! And lawyer jokes, love 'em and don't be shy. Lawyers are a very easy group to stereotype so have at it. Maybe you have one I haven't heard. I have a wall hanging at my office that says. "The more I get to know my fellow lawyers, the more I like my dog!"

On a more serious note, even after apologizing to Bruce for inadvertently offending him and his family, he continued to slam me in PM''s not so much about the content but just in general terms. I have learned a new acronym from one in his circle of friends:"PAW" pompous arrogant windbag." I was accused of mentioning the fact that I practice law "appeared in 90%" of my posts. A critical comment to one's post is fine, but slamming a fellow cacher like that is unacceptable.

So while I certainly don't shy away from a good scrap, this was over the top and I have decided and requested that I be scratched as a member of this group. I have made a lot of wonderful friends and this won't impact that at all. I have volunteered to help in getting the organization better organized, offered to work on the issues with the AT, and from time to time tried to entertain with humorous posts that either didn't offend or offended folks who chose not to post. The exchange with the Board member was a loose-loose situation for me, and him and it should of stopped when I apologized but it didn't so I"m moving forward.

Life is far too short and the sport of geocaching is way too much fun to have it marred in this manner.
